<p><a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/6344">https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/6344</a> has been a pretty painful issue hitting stable in 1.49 :(</p>

<p>The problem with beta is that not many people are using it, and less so running Clippy on beta, I think.<br>
But yeah, if we're aware of any bigger issues, we would do a backport for particular fixes, just not for every single fix.</p>

<p>Backporting fixes to beta wouldn't be a problem, we just have to know that people hit this in beta. Backporting to stable with a point release won't happen for a Clippy fix, unless it is something that is <strong>really</strong> broken, like ICEs in popular crates.</p>
